Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 200 The Difference Between Difficulty and Ease
Afterwards, Zuo Maodi gave a memorial, saying that although hereditary martial arts are not suitable for leading troops, but as a general who has been favored by the Ming Dynasty, he must serve the country no matter what.

After talking a lot, he emphasized at the end of the article that the court is extremely short of money, and Wu Xun can use donations to serve the country if he is not upright.If you are reluctant to even have a little money, then the country has raised Zhongshan wolves for so many years?

With his talent, he wrote an eloquent article by citing scriptures. After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and felt that this article should have been published long ago.

Therefore, he kept all other memorials about martial arts and did not publish them, but only distributed this article by Zuo Maodi for the officials to discuss.

In this way, the meaning of being an emperor is actually very clear.

On the side of the chief of ceremonies, as soon as the court meeting started, he immediately stood up to this memorial and set a tone first.

It is said that martial arts are different from civil officials, especially hereditary martial arts. Over the years, generations have received the favor of the emperor, and all generations have been rewarded. It should be generous when the court is in urgent need of money; and civil officials are not hereditary. , suitable for martial arts, not for civil servants.

Hearing the attitude of the supervisor of ceremonies, all the civil officials were relieved, and they all echoed Zuo Maodi's point of view.

As far as civil and military are concerned, opposing military officials is the foundation of civil officials, which is one of them;

Second, Zuo Maodi proposed not to let Wu Xun take military power, which was originally what most literati believed, and there was not much conflict with them;
Third, there are still some people who worry that these martial arts expeditions will actually affect military affairs. If they are replaced by money, this worry can also be avoided.

Fourth, the meaning of the supervisor of ceremonies must have been instructed by the emperor, which means that the emperor will no longer rub the wool of their civil servants, but only those with military merits.Of course, if they don't cooperate, maybe Emperor Chongzhen will ask all of them to donate money as before.

For civil servants, Emperor Chongzhen had at least made progress on this point, and they would not be able to justify it if they were not encouraged.

So, in this way, the court quickly reached a consensus, let Wu Xun use the method of paying money to serve the country!

On Wu Xun's side, many people heard this point of view, and they all regretted it. If they had known this before, they might as well go out to fight!
However, when the matter came to this point, those civil officials did not fight among themselves, and one by one the trolls targeted them. As far as their talents and learning were concerned, none of the ten civil servants could complain.

Later, the firepower of the civil officials was so fierce that the world felt that whether these military heroes were loyal to the court or the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it would depend on how much money they donated.

There are even some censors who made memorials to count the family wealth of each military officer, saying how many land properties and shops they have, etc., the rank of Gonghoubo, calculated from the time of enfeoffment, how much silver they must donate to be counted as Zhongshan wolf!
Later, even more outrageous remarks came out, saying that these martial arts didn't donate much money, that is Zhongshan wolf, what are you doing raising Zhongshan wolf, it was directly pulled down by Duojue!
…………

This was the first time that Emperor Chongzhen had tasted the sweetness. He took advantage of the difference between civil and military, and used civil and military to deal with those martial arts. He came to benefit from it, but he didn't need to spend much brain power to go up and charge in person.

He could see that the longer this matter dragged on, the more unfavorable the public opinion in the official circles would be to the Wu Xuns.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a kind of expectation, how much money can those martial arts pay?
However, when anyone faces others asking him to pay, he is not reconciled and wants to struggle.These martial arts are no exception.

Soon, You Wu Xun played, saying that they were willing to pay money to show their loyalty, but they couldn't just pay money. They were also the foreign relatives group in the Xungui group. Prosperity and wealth.Now that the court is in trouble and the emperor is in trouble, they should also pay for it!

As soon as this point of view came out, although many civil servants were still holding on to Wu Xun, some civil servants felt that what they said was right, so they began to shout that the foreign relatives group should also pay.

Seeing this change in wind direction, Xu Yunzhen and others were relieved, and finally they didn't have to bear all the pressure.

As long as the spearhead is shifted, it will be easy to handle.

First of all, if the foreign relatives group doesn't pay, the emperor can't let Wu Xun pay, because the reason for paying money is the same. Why only Wu Xun pays, but the relatives don't?
Foreign relatives also enjoy the glory and wealth of Daming, but now that Ming is in trouble, shouldn't they pay for it?

For this, those civil servants didn't care at all.Because for them, no matter whether it is Wu Xun or foreign relatives, they usually don't see each other, and they belong to two classes.

There is no psychological burden on the civil servants' side to rub the wool of their relatives, and it can even be said to be a politically correct move.

As a result, they also echoed this point of view and asked their relatives to pay for it.

Originally, on the side of the foreign relatives group, regarding these things that happened in the court, they were just watching the show.The result was so sudden that Chi Yu was affected, and he was a little dumbfounded.

The same is true for them, if they pay them, it will cost their lives, of course they will not be happy!
So, they cried poor one by one, saying that they are not comparable to the Wu Xun Group. They have been passed down for hundreds of years, but they are only as long as they are. In a word: poor.

For the chaos in the world, they have a heart, but they are powerless!
On the side of Wu Xun Group, when they saw that the foreign relatives resisted and did not want to pay, they were all happy in their hearts, and they all began to shirk, saying that their ancestors made the credit anyway, and that it was an inheritance earned by blood and sweat.Why do your relatives, if you really want to say it, your own family is in trouble, and you don't pay for it yourself, but you want outsiders to pay for it?

The civil servants who are hostile to their relatives, and even some military officials, also imitated what they did before, and listed their wealth for those relatives.I don't know how much money is hidden in the house, but it can be found out how many land and shops are under his name.

On the side of the relatives, under such pressure, they naturally found various relationships and went to the palace to cry poorly, hoping to avoid this innocent disaster.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was determined. No matter who said it, he would use the words from the outside world to ask: the foreign relatives seem to be relatives of the royal family, and now his family is in trouble.
In short, all intercessions from foreign relatives are not allowed. If you have the ability, go and argue with outsiders yourself. If you can persuade them, that's fine!
The relatives were dumbfounded, it was the group of people outside who set the fire on their heads, how could those people be persuaded by them!
However, not all relatives only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and there are also shrewd people.

Some of them shouted out as soon as they had an idea.

They believed that among foreign relatives, the closest and richest to the royal family was none other than the vassals of various places.They enjoy the offerings of Ming Dynasty, they have been rich and prosperous for many years, they are rich!

No matter from which point of view, if you really want to talk about giving money, that's fine, they can give money, but the feudal king should also give it, so it's only fair!
This change in wind direction was not expected by the Chongzhen Emperor at the beginning, nor by Zuo Maodi.It was also unexpected by other people who passively participated in this matter.

Those martial arts also thought it was very reasonable. To be honest, the vassal kings are the ones who enjoy their success, enjoy wealth and honor, and have troubles in the Ming Dynasty. This is their real family. Shouldn't their family also pay for it?
In this way, Wu Xun, civil servants, relatives, etc., finally formed a consensus.

The civil servant asked Wu Xun to pay, Wu Xun looked at his relatives, and his relatives looked at the vassal king, so a link was formed.

In the end, this unanimous opinion was placed on the desk of Emperor Chongzhen, and it depends on what Emperor Chongzhen said.

If it was the former Emperor Chongzhen, he might have some resistance to this matter.

One is that he is more affectionate. His brother gave him the throne, and he came from a vassal before.

The other one is that he became emperor from a vassal king. He didn't want other vassal kings to participate in the affairs of the court, so as to avoid any accidents from time to time.

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's mentality had completely changed.

For those vassal kings, he can slap wool, and he will never let them go.Because he knows that only when he has money can he strengthen the army, provide disaster relief, and govern the world.

It has only been two years since the country was destroyed and the species was exterminated. At this time, you can still worry about other trivial things.

Not to mention, he has already arranged for those vassal princes and clans to go, and he will not stay in the country to add trouble to him.

Therefore, when the focus of all matters was on the feudal lord and the relevant memorials were placed on his desk, he didn't even think about it, and directly agreed to these memorials.

Even for this reason, he even performed a scene, went to the Taimiao specifically, explained the situation to the ancestors and emperors of the past dynasties, and said that the vassal kings have contributed their efforts this time, and he will never treat the vassal kings badly , will surely pay off in the future.

As part of his sincerity, by the way, Emperor Chongzhen also issued an order to release the original Tang king who was imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang and call him back to Beijing.

As soon as the scene was done, those relatives were immediately dumbfounded.The feudal king clearly wants to give money, so they can't escape!

The Wu Xun Group was also stunned. If the vassal king gave money and his relatives gave money, then they couldn't escape, and they must have to give money!
The civil official group did not expect Emperor Chongzhen to do this, and they were very surprised at the time.After recovering, all of them gloated and praised the emperor for his sageness!

Afterwards, they spontaneously supervised these royal relatives to give money.In their hearts, it seemed that they had won a big victory.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was also very emotional about this situation.

It's not that he didn't think about asking these people for money before.Even he remembered what Liu Weichao told him about the difficulty of asking them to donate money in the original history!
But now, he didn't need to do anything, and it was done!
Looking back on the development of the whole matter, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but have a new understanding.
